Confessions of a Fugitive Mind

Five on Friday for January 6, 2006
- 1. What kind of computer do your have?
- I have a Sony VAIO laptop, an R505, 12.1" display, 1.2MHz P3, 30 GB, 256MB RAM, CD-RW/DVD, and an integrated dock. Of course I say this like it's totally hot, and it probably was when I bought it. But now it's only worth a few hundred dollars on ebay.
- 2. How old is it? Are you happy with it?
- I bought it in the summer of 2002, so about 3.5 years. I've been pretty happy with it - in fact, I can count on my hands the number of times it has crashed on me, despite having been powered on for almost every moment of the 3.5 years I've owned it. Now that I know I don't cart it around at all, I wish I had sprung for a larger model. A bigger display would've been worth the sacrifice in weight.
- 3. How many computers are in your household?
- At least three, sometimes more. I would really have to ask Jon since I really only use one of them.
- 4. What is your favorite thing to do on your computer?
- Surf the web for new things to learn, closely followed by designing things.
- 5. What is your dream computer?
- It's sitting at my desk at work. Along with inheriting Troy's graphical responsibilities upon his departure, I also inherited his PowerMac and Cinema Display. The only way it could get better is if it were a G5, but beggars can't be choosy.

Aunt Jean would be happy to hear you speak so highly of a Mac!
The old Sony is getting a little old. I just looked at some of the new laptops. You struggle to find one that does not have a wide format screen. I guess the answer would be to dock the the toolbars and menues on the sides.
